dee -- have all the 7's you called except for a third te -- what am I missing? (have the ai)
1:21 am
VolleymomDee

here is what the website says: How Long is the Gestation Period



The standard gestation period for cats is about 60 to 70 days, the equivalent of about two months. This will be a period of ups and downs for your pregnant cat. She may go from being contented and affectionate, to agitated, and back again during this time.



One thing you can be relieved about is that you won't have to deal with the annoyances of a female cat in heat during that time. A cat will not go into heat again until after the babies are born. http://www.petyak.com/cats/kittens/ges
tation-period-for-cats.aspx



1:21 am
bethn

joey, cats usually go into heat at specific times of year. Kittens are usually born in the very early spring (like yours) or later in the early fall in my experience. I don't think she could be pregnant with new babies. I think gestation is 90 days. Of course I am not a doctor, I only play one on TV : )

hi Ruby
3:43 am
rubyfoo

if jilli comes back, pls tell her it's kelley with an "e"! hahah
3:44 am
rubyfoo

nothing like having a really common name! Did you know that in the US there is a Jim Johnson convention held every year and there are 1000's of them?
3:46 am
lynxxx

I lucked out both Maiden and Married names. Managed to name both my kids with the most popular names in their respective birth years. PS Ruby was our most common girls name last year - Jack for the boys name
3:47 am
rubyfoo

that is so funny. When I named the black dog Max, I thought I was being original. It is the most common dogs' name in France and the US and for little boys , too.
3:47 am
rubyfoo

Johnny Depp's boy is named Jack and his daughter is Lily Rose
3:48 am
rubyfoo

My first dog was Rosie
3:48 am
lynxxx

I guess everyone else thinks they are being fairly original as well as ourselves!
3:49 am
rubyfoo

the French have gone wild since they stoped requiring babies to have saints' names. Now they make up names, just like Americans, and use Ashley and Enzo and Mia (or variations) a lot
3:49 am
rubyfoo

I named my son plain old John!
3:49 am
rubyfoo

not Jon or Johnny.....
3:50 am
rubyfoo

I['ve never liked my name, hence all the nicknames. There were 3 Nancy's in my elem school class
3:50 am
Kazzer99

morning all - my son is called richard - i chose that so that it sounded okay for a little lad and for when he was grown up
3:51 am
lynxxx

morning Kazz
3:51 am
rubyfoo

hello kaz, does he have nicknames?
3:51 am
granadan

I have a Michael, Zak Alfie and Christian - but he's so naughty "playgloop" reckon he comes from t'other place so we call him Joew until the terrible twos are over with ;)
3:52 am
rubyfoo

there were a lot of Richards when I was little and they were often called Richie!
3:52 am
Kazzer99

i couldnt use John cos that was my bro's name. yes he good - some of the good and some of them a bit sad - he was called Pooh when he was little - from Winnie the Pooh and my nieces call him Fishy cos they cant say Richard cos of a speech impediment
3:52 am
rubyfoo

I love Zak Alfie, what a great (and original) name!
3:53 am
rubyfoo

I call both dogs Poopy!
3:53 am
granadan

Sorry - lack of punctuation, that should say Zak and Alfie... sorry!

3:54 am
Kazzer99

my friends little boy is Zak. Also in his time my son has been called Rick, Ritchie, Dick and unforetunately but funnily Dickie the SheepBoy
3:55 am
rubyfoo

Dickie the Sheepboy is my favorite
3:55 am
rubyfoo

is Zak actually Zachary on the birth certificates?
3:55 am
Kazzer99

he also hates being called dick so thats the one we use most often to wind him up
3:55 am
Kazzer99

my friends Zak is Zak
3:55 am
rubyfoo

John's name is so common, that he uses his middle name (Reed) with it
3:56 am
granadan

Just Zak for mine - no middle name. And Alfie isnt an Alfred. I'm still not so sure I like that.
3:56 am
rubyfoo

gee, that's what I call my DH! hahah
3:56 am
rubyfoo

that is interesting about Zak
3:56 am
granadan

I believe all little boys need a good first name that can be shortened, so they KNOW when Mum is really ticked off!
3:57 am
Kazzer99

richard has 3 middle names - Stephen, Thomas and Robert. \my name is Karen which i hate and my middle name is Maureen - thats my mums name and she is Maureen Shirley as Maureen O'Hara and Shirley Temple
3:58 am
granadan

Oh I love the name Karen - it's on my shortlist if I ever have alittle girl
3:58 am
rubyfoo

what our parents don't know when they name us!!! I would have prefered Naomi or Natalie
3:58 am
Kazzer99

that's a good point Gran - i only ever call Richard Richard when i needed to have stern words with him
3:58 am
rubyfoo

Karen is a lovely name but I have a friend named Kareen (???)
3:59 am
Kazzer99

well Karen was a good escape from Kalinka
3:59 am
granadan

I got Jane and I love it. Lucky me.
3:59 am
rubyfoo

uh oh, kaz is in the PB. I'll make you some fresh coffee
4:00 am
rubyfoo

very lucky - not faddish. If I had had a daughter, she would have been Elizabeth (for my mother, Libbie) Helen (for husband's mother
4:00 am
Kazzer99

oops sorry - didnt even think about that and i had to reread the posts to see what i did
4:00 am
rubyfoo

forgiven, kazzer!
4:01 am
rubyfoo

but do you drink espresso?
4:01 am
granadan

I'm lost there Karen LOLs - PB?
4:01 am
rubyfoo

using a word in the chat that's in the grid. Some days it's impossible to avoid and, occasionally, somebody's name is in it, e.g. peri
4:02 am
granadan

LOls - okay ta. We almost have herein today...
4:02 am
Kazzer99

4:12 am

i dont always post - depends on my mood and time constraints - some times i only have a chance to babble for 20 minutes at a time and if its a big grid I'd rather get on with it
4:14 am

*unpoof again*... MESSAGE FOR RUBY... I tried to start a Lex game on FB with nelliekelly and it didn't work. I did a search for that name and got a lot of Nellie Kellys, none of whom lived where you do, and a lot of whom were private. Sigh!

ah! got it

hi lickety!! miss you!
5:43 am

Hi sprite - Long time - how are things on your side of the planet?
5:44 am
sprite

mostly moving in the right direction, but right now things are kinda shaky.
I heard you had some serious trouble :(
5:44 am
Norma

Hi Mrp and LIckety long time no see ... how are things with your fire ??
5:45 am
licketySplitAUS

Hi Norma, fire is in the past now - just a bad memory
5:45 am
mrpresident

serious trouble... indeed. i would rather have anmesia than keep reliving that thing
5:46 am
Norma

It takes a while to get over something like that, my thoughts were with you
5:46 am
licketySplitAUS

Only through hard times can we grow stronger
5:46 am
sprite

anyone arrested?
5:46 am
licketySplitAUS

sprite - no - no evidence, case dropped
5:47 am
sprite

darn. That sucks.
5:47 am
mrpresident

we now have new issues... which are adding to the stress, and unfortunately, non of the new stresses are any of our fault in any way... just have to deal
5:47 am
mrpresident

there was evidence, but the links couldn't be established, the case is suspended
5:47 am
sprite

I know the kind, mrP. Very frustrating and unfair.
5:48 am
licketySplitAUS

mrp - I read something the other day, something that has put a spark of an idea in my mind.
5:48 am
mrpresident

as long as it is a 'safe' spark
5:48 am
Norma

There are some major regional towns that are trying to promote sydney siders to move in,
5:48 am
licketySplitAUS

there was even talk of a possible relocation bonus - government offered.
5:49 am
Norma

Are things that bad you would consider relocating ??
5:49 am
licketySplitAUS

I'm thinking that there must be good schools, and with what I say today about a global classroom, it could be worth looking into to.
5:49 am
mrpresident

I love where I am... do you really think we should move?? and regional??
5:50 am
licketySplitAUS

I could get work easy, and we could start fresh. Towns that are mentioned where Dubbo or Wagga Wagga
5:50 am
licketySplitAUS

It has to be a large rural town of course to offer the kids the oportunities
5:50 am
mrpresident

no friggin way!!!
5:51 am
mrpresident

I will move to Lake Macquarie, Somersby, Morriset.... Tuggerah, but not Dubbo, not for anything
5:51 am
licketySplitAUS

Norma - the cost of living in this city is rediculous. It's almost impossible for new families to buy their own home in an area that is safe.
5:51 am
mrpresident

Wagga Wagga is a farming community
5:52 am
Norma

We have friends that have visited Aus and they couldn't believe how expensive things were
5:52 am
licketySplitAUS

Location is only important to be close to family and good resources for kids.
5:52 am
mrpresident

I would rather move to Forster
5:53 am
mrpresident

Taree even
5:53 am
licketySplitAUS

mrp - sure - why not.
5:53 am
mrpresident

Look at Mermaid Pool near Lake Macquarie
5:53 am
licketySplitAUS

I've got this intuition - this feeling that it's just what we need.
5:54 am
mrpresident

I want to stay close to Sydney... have my opportunities there
5:54 am
mrpresident

another epiphony ??
5:54 am
licketySplitAUS

what opportunites exactlt?
5:55 am
licketySplitAUS

anyways - it's a spark to breed, something to think about
5:55 am
mrpresident

lickety, this is a discussion for another time... I need to stop thinking about this for now
5:56 am
licketySplitAUS

one point though : how good are the kids lives going to be if their parents are stressed out?
5:56 am
licketySplitAUS

Positive thinking - that's all I'm focusing on - and not afraid of change - one that we have some control over.
5:57 am
mrpresident

how good are the kids education going to be other than where they are?? we can argue this, but I don't want to... they are staying at the school they are in because they are top acheivers of the year they are in.
5:58 am
licketySplitAUS

That means that you are no open to the idea just yet
5:58 am
mrpresident

their friends are very good people and we have very smart kids with great friends. We stay until their education is done...
5:59 am
mrpresident

we can move! sure! but they have to be on the train line to get to school.
5:59 am
licketySplitAUS

... indeed. ;-) I Love you!

the very RD then... lickety and mrP had a scary experience when some idiot set fire to th5 car and almost home. They were just having a private conversation about moving away from said idiot and people like him.
6:05 am
EspritdJean

um "private"?
6:06 am
sprite

as private as it can be in babble chog
6:07 am
EspritdJean

don't they live in the same house? :-0
6:07 am
sprite

lol yes, but right now they aren't at the same place.
6:07 am
EspritdJean

ah.........
6:08 am
Norma

Sometimes it helps to put ideas down in black and white that stops the disagreement escalating ...
6:08 am
mrpresident

ok... Jean, we were firebombed a month ago and car desintegrated and side of house on fire, but no one hurt.... however we found out it was deliberately set only 2 foot from our house, our car was used as a bomb so someone hates us.
Then Lickety's contract hasn't been paid in 3 months... financial stress incredible!
Then, I find out I have cervical cancer and PCOS and have to go to hospital, with no money to pay doctors or hospital excess, and I am terrified.
The whole things has broken me and Mark is breaking but holding together.
Shit happens in 3's apparently, so nothing else better get us down.
6:09 am
EspritdJean

oh that is a lot!!
6:09 am

I'm so sorry to hear

some days you just shake your head and scream "WTF?"

exactly jean... and cry for hours and shake and get mad as hell... but thankfully my friends are helping me through and my doctor is on top of things to keep me from doing God knows what.

7:02 am
Trifioso

it's so cool! the high school right down the road from my bil's is the performing/visual arts high school, so she could study photography when she is there. if that isn't a sign from God to proceed, I don't know what is

you haven't spent much time with 12 year olds, have you herin dear? LOLOLOL
7:02 am
herinfernallady

I say do it. Does the school do Cultural exchange?
7:03 am
Trifioso

we are investigating that now, herin.
7:03 am

12 years old girls are horrible...this is when hubbys move out and ask for a call when they are 18 or so
7:03 am
herinfernallady

I think it is called International Exchange. You get a small help from the school
7:03 am
Trifioso

usually you have to audition/interview/ all the rest. but they do take what they call "local intake students" and they are only a block away.....she will go all that way, just to be a "townie!"
7:03 am
car.eeyore

The 12 YO is fine....as long as she isn't with her mom! Typical 12 YO behavior!
7:04 am
Trifioso

and she will most likely have to do some summer school on this end, as american history is required here in 10th grade, but not so much in perth, I am thinking
7:04 am
herinfernallady

Nice
7:05 am
Trifioso

and of course we have to get "the father" to sign off on it....that will be fun

I heard 7 years.

The "Night Gallery" with the creepy doll is classic horror.

Realistically, I don't see the point after a year or two, perhaps- I have never needed them
7:30 am
NonoNanette

Herin, bills I keep 3 years but bank statements i hold for 7
7:30 am
uusue2

7 years is a good idea, herin, except for big things (car, house, whatever), where you should keep them as long as you have the thing
7:31 am
herinfernallady

I am thinking stuff like Bank Statements the bank has them anyway and stuff you pay for on card would keep as a reciept.
7:31 am
uusue2

also there is a similar rule about tax returns, in case you get audited (note of course that I am US-centric in all this)
7:31 am
NonoNanette

yes banks keep the information but they will charge you an arm and a leg to retrieve copies
7:31 am
herinfernallady

I am trying to purge stuff
7:33 am
herinfernallady

Nono. I have got information for free before as it was within a certain time period. Of course if it was for purchase or house or car which I don't have
7:34 am
MollyL

Nono, what do you mean by "bills"? The stubs from bill payments? I just keep the most current copy.
7:35 am
herinfernallady

I fully understand if I was renoing my house I would have a bill folder for that as it required but I am talking about bank statements and bills
7:35 am
NonoNanette

molly reciepts for utilities i only keep a year for comparison studies but other bills such as car repairs, house repairs or purchases i keep for 3
7:37 am
herinfernallady

I am talking about bank statements and bills. I don't have a car or house
7:37 am
MollyL

I don't keep bank statements at all. That is all on line now.
7:38 am
herinfernallady

That is what I am thinking. APpart from if I use my card for a purchase
7:38 am

herin i keep all paper files for 4 years and have everything scanned and on flash key for eternuty
7:38 am

eternity

I believe it is a misnomer to think that paper = dead tree. Making paper out of trees gives another life to trees.

8:31 am
terri1

Bye Norma
8:31 am
mrpresident

if you need clues terri, just ask for them... for example... "any clue for tu7/32?'
8:32 am
EvaNadine

seems to be more the opposite here, MrP. i guess because the brides family pays for the wedding?
though nowadays, with the money coming from anywhere and everywhere and more couples paying their own way, both mothers get to play it up a bit.
8:33 am
terri1

What the...? MrP
8:33 am
mrpresident

we are finding that bride's parents pay for church & reception.... groom parents pay for flowers, cars, invites and alcohol.
8:34 am
Riverdance

terri - if you scroll down, click on licketys babble clues and it will give you a list of the words in the grid (first 2 letters anyway) it also tells you how many letters in the word and the point total for the word
8:34 am
Riverdance

you will want to open another window first though so you can have them side by side
8:34 am
mrpresident

you can ask for clues to words you are finding hard to find....I have to give you the exe to babble expert
8:35 am
Riverdance

I try not to bring up the list until I am absolutely stuck...some folks bring it up right away
8:35 am
mrpresident

it gives you a list of clues so you know what you need to look for.
8:35 am
terri1

bags not paying for alcohol. im in Australia
8:35 am
mrpresident

it is an exe file from Lickety (Mark) and is safe.
8:35 am
EvaNadine

my parents gave us a set amount to do with whatever we wanted. it went to the caterer (which covered food and most rentals such as linens, chairs, etc) and the band.
his parents paid the facility rental fee, the flowers, and a BUNCH of odds-and-ends.
we paid for invitations and lots of things ourselves.
8:36 am
terri1

8:37 am
Michnick

hI just popping in. We are making 3 weddings in 4 months. Here (in Israel) in our community at least, almost all weddings expenses are split. It used to be different but unless one family is significantly more well off, all expenses directly related to the wedding are split, except for the bride's bouquet which the groom's parents pay for.
8:38 am
Michnick

Hi all
9:04 am
uusue2

hi, red, i've done that too (although not this year), totally forgot about $10k that I had withdrawn from my retirement fund.
9:04 am
DR1965

Hi Beach
9:04 am
redturtlehead

I thought my refund was huge and my income a bit low, but...thats what comes from forgetting an entire W2.
9:05 am
redturtlehead

uusue, was it easy to take care of?
9:05 am
uusue2

Just had to file an amended return; wasn't a big deal (although I did have to pay some of the money back)
9:05 am
mrpresident

bloody tax rubbish! can they not see an error?
9:05 am
redturtlehead

Yes, I am not touching that money.
9:06 am
redturtlehead

I think I will take the mess though to jacksom hewitt or H and R and let them file it properly!
9:06 am
DR1965

Probably a good idea Red
9:06 am
redturtlehead

Could be a whole lot worse! I could have spent that cash!
9:06 am
uusue2

then two years later the state came and said I owed them more money too, got that sorted out as the state doesn't tax retirement withdrawals, although by that time I had totally forgotten about it, gotten divorced, and lost the paperwork so it was a bit of a pain for a while
9:07 am
redturtlehead

luckily we do not have income tax in Florida, so I have no fear of the state.
9:07 am
redturtlehead

But the feds are scary.
9:07 am
uusue2

ah, good :-)
9:08 am
uusue2

I had one a long time ago where I'd forgotten something and the feds caught it many months later; I had to pay the extra tax and the interest but no fine as it was an honest mistake
9:11 am
uusue2

and if wht is still around, the only New England soda I know is tonic, but it's not in the grid :-(
9:11 am
redturtlehead

My parents have had a few problems lately, but they file quartlerly so it seems she is always filing income tax...
9:12 am
uusue2

my dad does that too, red, as a lot of his income is from investments now
9:13 am
redturtlehead

yes that is how my parents have it, plus the income that my Dad generates from his readings and such.

50 was the big one for me, as that is how old my mom was when she died; I didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did.

ugh. if you go to a chiropractor, you can save yourself some back/neck surgery.
11:25 am
uusue2

but be careful. I've gone to lots of chiropractors; if you really do need surgery they are not the answer (but then I came close to being paralyzed due to bone spurs compressing my spinal cord - not something a chiropractor should be fooling around with)
11:26 am
hurshy

bone spurs would be a different problem, yeah.
11:26 am
hurshy

some people are freaked out by chiro, but the idea of back surgery freaks me out much more.
11:27 am
uusue2

otoh, it was a chiropractor who realized that bone spurs were my problem (after an MRI was misinterpreted); he refused to touch me after that and got me to get a surgeon to look at the MRI itself and not just the report. I am very grateful to him!
11:27 am
jmcnrick

back
11:27 am
hurshy

that's good uusue :)
11:27 am
jmcnrick

good for the chiropractor not all of them are that bright
11:27 am
uusue2

just be careful of excessive claims - chiropractic can be good for sore backs but it won't cure cancer, diabetes, or autism (all claims I have heard)
11:28 am
uusue2

and hi, jmc!
11:28 am
jmcnrick

*fixes a lavender pillow for jbp*
11:29 am
hurshy

it's hard to know where the line is. it makes sense to me that it can improve overall health to have your spine straight and all your nerves able to send the right signals through properly. but i certainly wouldn't believe it was the only necessary care for every complaint.
11:29 am
jmcnrick

yeah my hubby drew the line at acupuncture (which is extremely good for additions) when the guys said it would cure his deafness
11:30 am
jmcnrick

i had a bad back and went to physical therapy and now 5 year later continue those exercise with nary a twinge
11:31 am
uusue2

physical therapy is based on actual science, though (for the most part), not at all like chiropractic (or, I am sorry, acupuncture)
11:31 am
uusue2

(all of which I have tried)
11:33 am
hurshy

some aspects of chiro are science. i mean, i can see the improvement in my spinal shape on the progress x-rays.
11:33 am
mixi6

I have been going to a chiropractor for 20 years. Just saw an x-ray of my back, and it is much much straighter now.
11:34 am
mixi6

I can also sit for more that 20 minutes unsupported and stand up straint.
11:34 am
mixi6

straight.
11:36 am
hurshy

but yes, they do sometimes seem to be making excessive claims about what having an aligned spine will do for you.
11:36 am
uusue2

I agree; I am just saying that one needs to be careful because there are a lot of unsupported claims out there.
11:36 am
jmcnrick

*sigh* phone
11:37 am
mixi6

I also went to one who pinched my sciatic nerve, so they are not all equal.
11:37 am
hurshy

definitely true, mixi - but also true about other health care professionals.
11:38 am
uusue2

and perhaps I have a complicated set of issues, but whenever I went to chiropractors they would start out by saying they could make me feel better in some finite number of sessions, but then it always went on forever without much change.
11:39 am
hurshy

i had a crazy dentist once, who seemed to think that no other dentist in the world could possibly have taken proper care of me, wanted to recheck everything they'd ever done. arrogant!
11:39 am
granadan

I prefer chiros - the treat holistically, though theres good and bad in every profession. No matter who you go to, they should listen, give you a realistic expectation of improvement and then acheive noticeable results. If that occurs, I couldnt care if its a chiro or an osteopath ;)
11:39 am
uusue2

anyway, it is always good to do your own homework and be informed, whatever the situation is. and now, speaking of homework, I have to get back to grading mine...

my spine is very bad, crooked to start but worsening from various fractures and surgeries but when I went to the fusion specialist in Geneva, supposedly a world-renowned guy from Canada, he said "absolutely not! It might reduce your pain for a while but then will only get worse above and below. So I take a 2-hour rest every afternoon and lots of pain meds....

would be nice if they could trim off the bone spurs without fusing the disk but I guess I had no disks left either, mostly I am fine now, though, just can't turn my head really far

butter tarts (are amazing, by the way) are pastries a cup like form with a mixtures of sugar, butter and eggs in the centre. Good ones may also have raisins or pecans in them too.

4:02 pm
Glantarell

4:02 pm
Krysten

Love coffee but with just milk, no sugar or cream. Timmy's is horrible coffee. Anyone looking for a good coffee in Canada should NOT go to Tim Hortons.
4:02 pm
Glantarell

i only love freshly ground black coffee
4:02 pm
lilliann

but starbucks and costa coffee are expensive so my hubby says and he doesn't want a latte or mochachoca thing, as he says, he just wants a normal cup of coffee!! lol
4:02 pm
redturtlehead

i really do not like starbucks much.
4:03 pm
Krysten

Butter tarts are not even remotely like a custard. It's more syrupy, kinda like a pecan pie.
4:03 pm
Glantarell

preferably with vanilla or cinnamon syrup
4:03 pm

I like plain coffee with milk like Krysten...
4:03 pm

But I have liked tim hortons OK when I have been there.
4:03 pm

i think i need a butter tart recipe...

Timmy's couldn't cut it in CT, replacing a local coffee, etc., place they bought out. More food options, but coffee left a lot to be desired.

Wikipedia description of Butter Tarts = Recipes for the butter tart varies according to the families baking them. As such, the appearance and physical characteristics of the butter tart such as the firmness of its pastry or the softness of its filling also varies[1]. In general, the English Canadian tart consists of butter, sugar, and eggs in a pastry shell, similar to the base of the U. S. pecan pie without the nut topping. It is also similar to the French-Canadian sugar pie. Additional ingredients can include currants, raisins, pecans, walnuts, coconut, dates, butterscotch, chocolate chips, peanut butter or maple syrup.[citation needed].

Wow! I used to date a Chinese guy, sooo....I discovered when I had it at work that most people dont know it either here.
4:20 pm
lilliann

i'm surprised that the chinese restaurants don't do it tho as we have sooo many in this country. i do like a good chinese/thai meal
4:21 pm

I imagine they do, but also sometimes i just ask for it even if it is not on the menu and they make it.
4:21 pm

i think my hubby is getting sick of chinese food again, bless him as he has driven chinese/thai people around the country for the last few weeks and that is all he as eaten....speak of the devil...he's on phone!

The noodle dish might be called dan dan mian. If you have an Asian grocery, you could ask for ma jiang, which is the Mandarin word ofr sesame paste.

I had a great Easter.It was fun to un5/12 w/my family for the holiday. We had not been un 6/24 as a family since Christmas. My sister,who's a nu5/12,& brother and their families were there for Easter.My one year old nephew was the entertainment for everyone. We had to de 6/21 him in livingroom so he wouldn't crawl off to places unknown.He is one cute du4/7.He knew he was the center of attention and wouldn't take his nap. Tried to hu 4/7 him, but he wouldn't be hu 6/30. It ir4/5 his parents when he wouldn't sleep. He was a te6/18 & really te 6/21 them with his antics and was driving them nu4/5. He wouldn't sleep no matter how st 5/10 they got with him. They thought he would ru 4/5 th5/12 Easter by being cranky&they would have to leave early. He had a lot of mo5/22 fighting off his sleepiness, but finally was a re 6/18 and re 6/21. His parents were st4/5ned he finally fell asleep. He didn't ut 5/12 a sound after that.For Easter dinner we had ham for the ma4/5 course. I am going to sh4/6 down this computer,get off my tu4/6 and watch tv for the re4/4 of the ni 4/4. Ni 6/18 all! See you all tomorrow.
